Park-style neighborhood next to downtown San Leandro

Cherrywood is a small residential enclave less than a mile from vibrant downtown San Leandro. Its secluded setting, with uniformly designed houses and a more private residential layout, makes it unique from neighboring communities. “Cherrywood is park-like,” says Percy Cheung, a local 34-year veteran Realtor with Smart Choice Realty. “The neighborhood gives off a calm, peaceful vibe with Cherrywood Park on one side and wide tree-lined streets on the other.” Cherrywood is considered one of the newer housing developments in the city. It was built in the early 2000s and now features over 300 single-family homes. Not only does it provide desirable suburban qualities, but the neighborhood benefits from its central East Bay location. "Commuters love it here," Cheung says. "You can travel quickly across the Bay Area from I-580 or walk to the BART from home."

Surrounded by local eateries and shopping centers

Although Cherrywood is strictly residential, there are dining and shopping options just outside of the neighborhood. Nearby Fifth Wheel is a San Leandro institution. Initially opened in 1946, the eatery used to serve truckers when San Leandro Boulevard was a main highway. It continues to serve American-style comfort food in a small, welcoming space. Downtown is less than a mile away for some of the city’s top dining and shopping. “They have a very cute downtown here with a lot to offer,” says Rudy Gonzales, a local Realtor with Red Oak Realty, who has lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years. Highly rated spots include Sons of Liberty Alehouse and Paradiso, an award-winning Italian restaurant known for its global fare and international wines. Next door is Top Hatters Kitchen and Bar, a trendy hotspot with elevated American cuisine. Downtown’s San Leandro Plaza shopping center has a Safeway for groceries, while Marina Square Center is a few miles south with big retail chains like Nike and Nordstrom Rack. The Gate 510 shopping mall is a few blocks west, featuring convenient big box stores such as Walmart and Home Depot.
